Hi there NewArt, fellow Montrealer here, well actually a bit north, a few KMs from Icar.

Last week I bought my very first Porsche, a 2004 Boxster S. The PO left me a bunch of receipts of stuff done on the car in the last few years. Tranny and clutch were replaced, and the flywheel re-surfaced but he had no recollection or knowledge of the IMS bearing, neither is it mentionned on the bills... I will call the shop that did the job to see if they remember anything about it.

If it wasn't done or I can't get confirmation, I will also bite the bullet. I've got friends who specialize in Porsche/Audi in Sainte-Catherine just 5 minutes off of Messier Bridge (Eurozone) I was planning on asking them to quote me a price on that but if you know someone that does it for a grand, it is good to know.

Congrats on the positive attitude, I've just spent the last 2 years on a project car gone awry and that ended up being a financial and emotional drain, but getting angry never got me anywhere faster... I sure do hope this Porsche thing doesn't bring me down the same path.
